AFRICAMUSE'S PLACE:

An index for simpler navigation

Of course, I think it would be a lot more fun to browse through my website and see where your mouse takes you. However, if you are in a hurry or looking for something specific, this index might help you find what you want a lot more quickly.

Remember that this index is ONLY of my own html files, and doesn't include links to other sites. You will find these on the relevant pages. The advantage (maybe) is that you will find one or two html files which I have taken off my main pages, because they are out of date, but still consider worth keeping. Happy Hunting!

My site has grown pretty large - on request I am putting in yellow "recently updated" or "recently created" tags to let regular visitors know which pages have had new content added in the last three months or so. Let me know if they help!

A letter written by my then 82 year old great great grandmother to her grandchildren in March 1913, telling them the story of her life. It includes life with an abusive uncle from the time she was orphaned at the age of three, settlement in South Africa just after the Anglo-Zulu war, her husband's role in the American civil war, the deaths of her children, and her life on four continents. A very powerful history.

links.html
In October 1998, I started selecting a regular 'link of the month.' This could be anything from a personal page to a search engine, in other words any site that I found particularly touching, entertaining or informative. Unfortunately I have been unable to consistently devote enough online time to sustaining this. From time to time, I add links to really worthwhile pages to my archive of 'links of the month.' Enjoy!

lisbon.html
In 1998, I was given the last-minute task of completing a whole section of the exhibition that South Africa was to take to the World Expo '98 in Lisbon. I had to write texts and select objects and help to select images, in conjunction with representatives from the provincial governments, to reflect the cultural heritage of South Africa's provinces. This is a brief report of my visit to Lisbon to play my part in preparing the exhibition for the public.
